Answer 2

$7

Explanation:

Given :A park charges $12 for one round of miniature golf and a reduced fee for each additional round played.

To Find :If Tom paid $47 for 6 rounds of miniature golf, what is the reduced fee for each additional round played? Show your work.

Solution :

Charge for 1 round = $12

A reduced fee for each additional round played.

Let the reduced fee be x

So, f(1)=12

f(2)=12+x

f(3)=12+2x

f(4)=12+3x

f(5)=12+4x

f(6)=12+5x

We are given that Tom paid $47 for 6 rounds of miniature golf

So,
`12+5x=47\\5x=47-12\\5x=35\\x=7`

Hence the reduced fee for each additional round played is $7
